    What I liked about Shipwreck Lee's is its ambiance and decor. The pirate theme and ocean colours accurately captures what you expect from Tobermory. It was pleasant to dine on its patio which really elevated the vacation mood. There aren't that many options on the menu, you're likely here for its famous Fish & Chips but chicken or ribs are available too. The fish was fresh and tasty, but not so much on the other fried foods which were just standard to me. Calamari was kind of rubbery, while the Southern corn was delicious. The jerk chicken was dry. For fish and chips, I honestly think 1 piece is enough per person and I'm not sure who would actually order AYCE. My recommendation for them is to diversify their menu. Notice all the sides are fried foods which are very filling. I'd love to order the corn as a separate menu item, and it would be good if they have collard greens, coleslaw or salads.

    Amazing service and ambiance. They are know for fish and chips and I absolutely agree. Lot of local beers. Indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the water! Seems to kind of a romantic place since I saw many couples. Definitely family friendly!

    The food and service were great!! Our dinners came fast and were delicious!! And our server, Captain Beard, couldn't have been more friendly!! These Michigan, USA citizens loved our experience and would recommend this establishment to anyone!!

    Amazing food and even better service. I took the family the location on Hwy 6 because they have a great option for non fish lover (chicken shawarma bowl) but went to they Bay location as they are out of fish. Very friendly welcome at their location and I mentioned I went to the other location that was out of fish. Immediately we were seated and the guy that seated us got on the phone to re supply the other location. Not only that he zipped down to their other location to get me a chicken bowl ?!? Crazy good service. Definitely a 5 star meal and service! Will definitely recommend to others and come back when we return to Tobermory. Thank you! All servers are extremely friendly and great ambiance!

    We came here on a long weekend around lunch time and waited about 30 minutes for a table. They only had patio dining and didn't do take out. We ordered the all you can eat fish for $18.95 per person. We really enjoyed the fish. It was fresh and buttery. The first plate came with about 4 pieces of fish. We ordered an additional 2 pieces each afterwards. We though we ate our money worth The fries were mediocre. They don't have lemon. It came with pre-packaged tartare sauce, vinegar and ketchup. The service was pretty good. All the staff were friendly and energetic.

    - one of the servers was rude - fish and chips were good, crispy and yummy with right amount of saltiness - outside patio is nice too!

    We came here as part of bus tour group. Our organizers had asked us to choose between the Fish or Chicken with Fries options for our lunch (along with a pop). Both my wife and I opted for the Fish. Our whole party was seated on the patio which had a pleasant ambience with a nice view of the lake. The service was fast and most of the servers were pleasant enough. There were two servers dressed like pirates who were particularly nice and friendly. Our meals came with little packages of Tarter Sauce and Rancher's Choice Vinaigrette. Although there is salt, pepper, vinegar, and ketchup if you need them, I wish they also had lemon to go with the fried fish. I found the single portions of Fried Fish pretty decent sized and filling. The fish was fried to perfection and the insides were light, flakey, and moist. The fries were pretty good too. If there is one thing that this place needs to improve on, it is the state of their washrooms. There aren't enough toilet stalls and the few they have are poorly maintained.

    If you're ever in Tobermory you have to check out this place! We finished a boat tour and decided to grab some lunch from a local spot. We walked over to this place and it was jam packed with people waiting for a table and take out. We waited only 30 minutes for a table but definitely worth it. We sat down and our server quickly came over and introduced himself. He was super friendly and went over the menu with us. He explained that whitefish was their specialty. I'll admit .. I was hesitant at first because I've never tried it so we decided to order one of the whitefish with shrimp and a halibut fish and chips. The whitefish was the best thing I have ever eaten in terms of fish and chips I was blown away by it. It was flavourful and literally melted in your mouth. I wish we just got the whitefish cause it was that good. The fries that came with our mains weren't good at all.. they lost a star for that. I guess their fish makes up for it? But seriously if they got better fries this place would be 10 stars. Service was 10/10 highly recommended If you're ever in a rush - make sure you try take out form here!

    The fish was fried very well, crunchy to the bread and hot and moist from the inside. The sauce added a good flavor to finish. However the fries was much inferior, along with pricey beverage and an unsatisfying service. If you happened to be around, try to get a take out and eat near the docks instead. There is likely no point for an all you can eat fish and chips, although only 1$ extra, you will likely wait for a long while for a second batch, and you are definitely full after the first round anyway.

    2 slices of haddock + fries, 1 slice of white fish + poutine
    Ivy C.

    Service was good, but the price was a bit $$ for the quality of food... I would say the haddock isn't even at the level of Jane's breaded haddock, as it was quite hard (has some fish skin included as well). White fish was pretty flakey, as mentioned, but didn't have much flavor itself. The tartar sauce was pre-packaged as mentioned and also prices seemed to have increased by quite a bit. Other reviews from a few months ago said AYCE was $21.95 but now it's $24.95. Also felt a bit uncomfortable that the pre-programmed tip options started from 18%+ for a place that's already overpriced to begin with

    Some friends and I came on a weekday and we got a table right away. The first thing I noticed was the decor, specifically a skeleton with a missing upper half. It was... something. Otherwise the food was okay, I got the AYCE fish and chips, which was plentiful but very average. The price was a bit steep ($21.95), though I found it to be the best deal on the menu.

    Ok let's start with the positive amazing location :) now the food let's be honest we all couldn't finish our meals.. we had the fish and chips, hubby got fried shrimp and my daughter got the fried chicken! The fish was super duper oily and the fish inside was not flaky or good the fried chicken my oh my had cartilage inside we thought it was more like chicken strips but no! I asked for a lemon wedge to put on my fish and the waitress says we don't have any fruits here our stomachs didn't feel well the rest of the evening!

    We were directed to this food truck when we checked into our hotel in Tobermory…read more It was a great find! The fish was fresh, the breading was tasty and the homemade tartar sauce was awesome. The chips were amazing as well. If this was down the road from my home, I'm sure I'd be there every week. Just a note, it is not hard miss. If headed towards Tobermory, it will be on your right shortly before you get to any of the entrances to Bruce Peninsula National Park. If headed from town, you will pass both the Cypress Lake entrances and the one just south of there (don't remember the name). Look for the Lonewolf Drive Thru sign Fish is served from around 11:30 with the last order taken at 7:30.

    I came here based on all the good reviews on Yelp. It's a cute little chip wagon (now a renovated…read moretrailer) We ordered a large fry and a large poutine just as travel food. It took 30 minutes for them to call our number. Granted, they were pretty busy... But 30 minutes for 2 orders of fries is a little crazy. My fries were good (although not 30 minutes good) but could have been a little warmer. The person I was with said their poutine was good. I don't eat meat so this review is based solely on the fries and service. I'd still recommend checking it out for yourself! OH and the address here on Yelp didn't take us to the chip wagon. We had to continue driving until we saw it on the left hand side (leaving tobermory) which was about 7km.

There are a few other places to eat in the area; however, we're in a mood for a brewery. This place was clean and well kept! They had sitting on a deck around the front and along the back as well as indoor dining. Our server, Boggy, was terrific! He was personal and professional, keeping us informed and checking on us throughout our late lunch. I ordered an adult beverage and my wife ordered a peach spritzer. Their sweepstakes IPA was absolutely delicious! No question on what it was wanting to be! I decided on their prime rib burger with poutine fries while my wife decided on a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun. Our meals came out relatively quickly. Even though the burger was required to be well done by provincial health standards, it was moist and tender! We really enjoyed our meal! If we were in the area, I know we would be back often! Thank you again Boggy!

Our server, however, was extremely friendly and the reggae music playing overhead was enjoyable and not obtrusive. The food and check did take a while to come out although the restaurant was admittedly full when we came. Prices: You're looking at about $9 pints and $21-25 entrees, it's not cheap but it's also about par for the course in the area. Food: We got the lamb burger and messy fish sandwich which were both very good. The lamb burger had a decent sized patty and wasn't gamey at all. It had a good amount of tatziki and pickle onions to balance out the flavors. They do also have great burger buns that was pillowy while still having a robust golden crust that doesn't get soggy 4.5/5 The fish sandwich had a breadcrumb breading that was very crispy and served with some fresh shredded greens to lighten up an otherwise heavier sandwich. I would recommend asking for a side of tartar sauce though to give it a little more acid/tang. 4/5 We got Cajun fries and poutine fries as our sides and they are the soggier once-fried kind although they had spot-on flavors which made them still enjoyable. 4/5 We would also strongly recommend trying the blonde and amber ales which were excellent summer beers with a light body and subtle complexity. 4/5 Overall, I would say this place is a solid choice. The food has great flavor, good quality, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. The prices are expectedly high for a tourist area but not so bad that we wouldn't come back again.
